Homecoming
Sand Cranes share their ancient voices on high today.
Canada Geese, circling, in great numbers, harmonize.
Light heartedness transforms a sun bright day.
Northern homelands anxiously await home comings.
Snowy White and stoic, Egret pauses,
waits, watches.
A painted white porch, a rocking chair.
Empty now,
still and longing,
thermal winds of time stir what is above.
